Good news, Texaco Lubricants TV. I made a Texaco Race Livery on Forza Horizon 5 using a Car in the old Year Volkswagen SP-2. But, I made a pretty good job at designing Cars on the Game. But, actually made it perfect. I'll make a new Video on 2026. I'm sure they'll like the Texaco Racing Livery. < )
This is a powerful, moving interview. Lord Hesketh is hardly recognisable today yet his memories of James are precious and engaging. But its Freddie who has the powerful, emotive presence. A striking likeness to his dad is only enhanced by a similar hair style. Freddie breaking down at the end would move the hardest of people.
Mika had the same presence of mind to shift the interview or the situation into another direction, same here as during that Monza press conference where Michael got too emotional to speak, same here with Freddie. Mika instantly recognised that things got too emotional and he initiated the shift onto something else instead. Very good on Mika's part, big respect. I guess it's a northern european thing, it's bottling up emotions rather than letting them out. I can relate
There will only ever be one James Hunt, those that were lucky to see him race will always remember him, myself included. Freddie, your Dad is still in many peoples hearts. Your Dad was a hero, you have so much to be proud of.
Nice of him to have acknowledged Prost. It's outrageous how often he's completely overlooked in discussions of the greatest drivers of all time. The guy beat Piquet, Mansell, and Senna in equal or similar machinery.
4:36 This would be an amazing prediction if it wasn’t so obvious. I said this in Max’s first season and I’m no expert. Some things are just bleedin’ obvious.
this comment is an aside to the video...........i think the extreme persecution of tobacco.........much stricter attitudes to drink driving.............harsh speed restrictions in everyones lives with 20 mph speed limits speed cameras & speed humps & huge volumes of traffic.........has not helped Formula 1 in the modern era..........although the carbon fibre monocoque greatly improved safety.........more technology doesn't make the sport more exciting..........i think there's a lot to be said for a more American style of racing with simpler technology & simpler cars for the SPORT...........the state of the real world doesn't help ...........nor does the confusion over electric vehicles & growing concern over fossil fuels...........for me personally the seventies was the heyday..........the '80's & 90's were great too..........i was once a huge fan.........these days i just don't feel the same way about it...........
In this day and age James Hunt would dominate. They basically run automatic transmissions now, he can just concentrate on where the best place to put the car for the best time
Mika has the greatest Finnish voice I’ve ever heard, love hearing him talk and what a driver he was too, I miss the days when the great Michael Schumacher who’s my hero fight with Mika
Fantastic video. Top drawer as they say. Saw James practice, qualify and race at the USGP West at Long Beach. A true sportsman and excellent driver. He is greatly missed.
Lord Alexander Hesketh had the privilege of having James Hunt in his Formula 1 Team... Very well said here & much appreciated ! James Hunt belongs in the Legends of F1 History - Motor racing & British F1 Drivers..His personality was unique...
Would it be fair to say that Hunt as a racing driver is at the same level of the likes of Jacky Ickx, Ronnie Peterson, Rene Arnoux, Carlos Reutemann, Didier Pironi and Juan Pablo Montoya all of which never won a WC? Hunt: 10 wins, 14 poles, 8 fastest laps, 23 podiums Ickx: 8 wins, 13 poles, 14 fastest laps, 25 podiums Peterson: 10 wins, 14 poles, 9 fastest laps, 26 podiums Arnoux: 7 wins, 18 poles, 12 fastest laps, 22 podiums Reutemann: 12 wins, 6 poles, 6 fastest laps, 45 podiums Montoya: 7 wins, 13 poles, 12 fastest laps, 30 podiums Pironi had a terrible accident when he was on route of being WC for sure in 1982 with Ferrari. Of course sir Stirling Moss was the best of all of those who never won a WC. For me Moss was quite arguably one of the best 10 racing drivers of all times.
I lost my dad when I was 9. I still remember him and his voice. I still talk to him. He and mum both got me in to motor racing and they both liked James.
Wonderful to see this. I do hope that James Hunt’s son is able to gain insight into what his father was like thru these interviews. Certainly he loved his son very much and was taken from his life much too soon. We all miss him.
